Here in Orlando for today's
last stop of the Tea Party Express, I find some
interesting local news:
The rebellion against Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer appears to be coming to a head. As first reported by Gary Fineout of The Fine Print, a number of GOP leaders Florida are demanding a "special emergency closed meeting'' of the state party's executive board.
Notice that the
St. Petersburg Times is forced to admit they got beat by a blog.
Gary Fineout reports:
Greer, the state GOP chairman since 2007 and an ally of Gov. Charlie Crist, has been accused of everything from playing favorites, turning his back to dirty tricks by party operatives and failing to properly supervise the use of party credit cards. While some have characterized Greer’s critics as a small minority, the call for the meeting shows that recent incidents are beginning to worry party leaders.
Part of the controversy involves the Florida GOP's relationship with
accused Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein. No wonder
Charlie Crist is starting to panic.
